New Year...New Look!

Happy New Year! We're kicking off the new year with a new look for our website! We hope you enjoy the updated design!

For those on Facebook, you can also look forward to another exciting announcement in the next day or two! :)

In the meantime, prepare with us for the awesome Feast of the Theophany of Our Lord, coming up this Sunday!

"Radiant was the feast that has just passed; * but more brilliant, O Savior, is the one approaching. * The first had an angel as a herald; * this one has John the Forerunner.* The first had blood spilled and had Bethlehem lament as one who was childless; * the second has blessed waters recognized to be a bath having many children. * Before, the star proclaimed You are incarnate and are openly coming again. * O Lord, glory to You!" (Aposticha, January 2)

p.s. Fun fact about our new website design: The font for the titles of our posts is called "Covered By Your Grace!"

O Women, * be the heralds of good news and tell what you saw; * tell of the vision and say to Sion: * "Accept the good news of joy from us, * the news that Christ has risen." *Exult and celebrate * and rejoice, O Jerusalem, * seeing Christ the King coming from the tomb * like a bridegroom."

"The monastery is the prophetic place where creation becomes praise of God and the precept of concretely lived charity becomes the ideal of human coexistence; it is where the human being seeks God without limitation or impediment, becoming a reference point for all people, bearing them in his heart and helping them to seek God."Pope John Paul II, Orientale Lumen (Light of the East)
